Answer:

The household should not buy this policy

Explanation:

The probability of burglary is

$200,000 * 0.02 = $4,000

The insurance policy costs $15,000

The loss probability is lower than the cost of insurance policy

E(U) = (Jewelry Worth - Jewelry loss due to burglary + Insurance cover - Insurance policy cost) * 0.5

E(U) $200,000 - $70,000 + $70,000 - $15,000

E(U) = $ $185,000^{0.5}

E(U) $430.11

If a client pay us for our service in advance, we now have an obligation to provide services that we must fulfill in the future.
In accounting, we could consider this obligation as a liability which will be recorded in credit when it increased.
